Peanut Butter Wolf Does Seven Styles in Seven Nights

Los Angeles-based DJ Peanut Butter Wolf has a bigger vinyl collection than most record stores, so when he began organizing all those records by genre during a recent move, it gave him an idea.

"It occurred to me that LA is that rare city where as a DJ, you could do a whole week-long tour in a 10-mile radius, where all kinds of people could appreciate all styles of music," explained the founder of indie hip-hop label Stones Throw Records. So next month, Wolf will be hitting the road—so to speak—on a seven-night, seven-club tour of his home city, playing a different style of music every night of the week. Expect some seriously obscure and mind-blowing cuts from one of the best selectors in the business.

These are the dates:

Sun, June 10 The Do-Over @ Crane’s Tavern - ’80s early house
Mon, June 11 Funkmosphere @ Carbon - ’80s rare soul & boogie
Tue, June 12 Cinespace - ’90s hipster ironic badd covers
Wed, June 13 Dub Club @ The Echo - ’70s dub & roots reggae 45s
Thu, June 14 The Root Down @ Little Temple - ’80s hip-hop 45s
Fri, June 15 Firecracker @ Grand Star - ’70s Afro-Latin & disco
Sat, June 16 Funky Sole @ Star Shoes - ’60s deep funk 45s
